Answer:
This excerpt is taken from <em>The Fall of the House of Usher</em> by Edgar Allan Poe.
Explanation:
Poe is considered by many critics as being in his element when he wrote this in 1839. His penchant for building structure echoing emotions of fear, guilt and shame, are very evident in the way Roderick and Madeline interacted. Like the <em>Tell-Tale Heart</em>, Roderick is eaten by guilt and fear at burying his sister alive. This brings upon the fall of Roderick Usher's home.
Here is the answer the guy answer is absolutely despicable
1. Sometimes it is more difficult to concentrate if you use active listening skills because you have to simultaneously understand what you are being told and reassure the speakers that you understand them by using verbal affirmations like for example "Sure", "I understand", "I see", etc. So, for me it sometimes caused me trouble trying to use active listening skills like nodding, establishing eye contact or paraphrasing what the speakers said in order to show them that I was involved.
2. Some of my friends and family responded differently to my active listening and seemed to be more excited about what they were talking about because I seemed to be really interested in what they had to say.
3. I also felt a little bit differently because active listening is more demanding than passive listening and it required greater effort from my part.
That's is why god gave us two ears and one mouth.
